Reliable Transportation

Written By Kaitlin Hetterscheidt

All people need high-quality transportation to reach resources and services, but communities and populations don’t have equal transportation access. Accessible, reliable, and safe transportation connects people to health care, work, learning, social activities, and civic engagement opportunities. Inaccessible public transit strands residents who rely on rides — including older adults and people with disabilities. In addition, a lack of transit options, particularly at off-peak hours, means people who work alternate schedules often have no safe or affordable way to get between work and home.

Reliable Transportation  includes:  

  • Active transport

  • Nearby necessities

  • Efficient energy use

  • Safe transport

  • Few environmental hazards
